Ushbu boshlang'ich parcha inkor qiluvchilarning yolg'on to'qima deb rad etadigan kitobning tabiati haqida so'z yuritadi va ularni ogohlantiradi: yaqin orada ular shunday bir kunni ko'radiki, o'shanda o'zlarini Xudoga topshirib, musulmon bo'lganlarida edi, deb orzu qilishadi. U ularga o'sha kunning belgilangan vaqti borligini, uning kechikishi ham shu sababli ekanini aytadi. Parcha ularning qilgan e'tirozlarini, ya'ni farishtalarni o'zlari oldiga olib kelishni talab qilishlarini zikr etadi. Xudo inkor qiluvchilarga farishtalarni yuborganida, ularni butunlay halok qilishini bayon qilib, ularni qo'rqitadi. Nihoyat, sura ularning inkor munosabatining haqiqiy sababini ochib beradi. Bu, albatta, dalil yetishmasligidan emas, balki ularning qattiq o'jarligidan kelib chiqadi.

This opening passage speaks about the nature of the book which the unbelievers reject as fabrication, adding a threat that they will soon witness a day when they wish they had submitted themselves to God and become Muslims. It tells them that that day has a fixed time, and that is the reason for its delay. It mentions the challenges they make and how they demand that angels be brought to them. It threatens them by stating that when God sends down angels to unbelievers, He destroys them altogether. Finally the sūrah speaks of the real reason for their unbelieving attitude. It is certainly not for lack of evidence, but rather due to their entrenched stubbornness.

"Alif. Lām. Rā. Bular Kitobning oyatlaridir, aniq bayon." (Oyat 1) Ushbu surani va Qur'on suralarining ba'zilarining boshida keladigan shunga o'xshash uch alohida harf Kitobni, ya'ni Qur'onni tashkil etadi. Ular hammaga ochiqdir. Ular tuzilishi va dalili jihatidan tengsiz bo'lgan oliy oyatlarni hosil qiladi. Bu harflarning o'zida ichki ma'nosi yo'q, lekin ular ma'nosi juda aniq bo'lgan Qur'onni tashkil etadi.

“Alif. Lām. Rā. These are the verses of the Book, a clear discourse.” (Verse 1) The three separate letters with which this sūrah starts and similar ones that occur at the beginning of some Qur’ānic sūrahs make up the book, i.e. the Qur’ān. They are available to all. They make the sublime verses, which are inimitable in composition and argument. These letters do not have an intrinsic meaning in themselves, but they make up the Qur’ān, which is very clear in its meaning.

Ushbu benazir kitobning vahiyiga ishonmaydigan va Qur’onni, uning ma’nosi juda aniq bo‘lishiga qaramay, o‘ylab chiqarilgan deb ataydiganlar shunday bir kunga duch keladiki, o‘shanda ular boshqacha munosabatda bo‘lganlarida edi, deb qattiq orzu qiladilar. Ular mo‘min bo‘lib, xatti-harakatlari din ta’limotiga mos bo‘lganida edi, deb istaydilar. “Kofir bo‘lganlar, musulmon bo‘lganlarida edi, deb qanchalar orzu qilsalar kerak.” (2-oyat)

People who do not believe in the revelation of this inimitable book, and describe the Qur’ān as fabricated when it is very clear in its import, will come to see a day when they will dearly wish that they had adopted a totally different attitude. They will wish that they had been believers and that their behaviour was in line with the teachings of religion. “Little do those who disbelieve wish that they were Muslims.” (Verse 2)

Sūra shundan keyin ularning Payg‘ambarga (ﷺ) muomala qilishdagi yomon odobini tasvirlaydi. U (ﷺ) ularga faqat haqiqatning aniq eslatmasi bo‘lgan Qur’onni yetkazgan edi. Bu eslatma ularni aldamchi umidlar ortidan quvmay, haqiqatga yuzlanishga uyg‘otishga xizmat qilgan. U (ﷺ) ularga Xudoning qonuni va uning amal qilish tartibini ham eslatgan. Ammo ular uni masxara qilishdi va unga haddan tashqari dakki bilan gapirishdi. “Ular aytadilar: ‘Ey, sen, sendan Eslatma nozil qilingan kishi! Haqiqatan sen devonasan. Agar rost gapiruvchi bo‘lsang, nega farishtalarni oldimizga keltirmaysan?’” (6-7-oyatlar) Ularning Payg‘ambarga (ﷺ) murojaat qilish usulida masxara sezilib turadi: “Ey, sen, sendan Eslatma nozil qilingan kishi!” (6-oyat). Aslida ular vahiy va Payg‘ambarning (ﷺ) risolatini butunlay inkor etar edilar, lekin shunga qaramay bu masxarali murojaatni qilardilar.

The sūrah then describes their bad manners in the way they addressed the Prophet, when he had only presented to them the Qur’ān which is a clear reminder of the truth. It helps to reawaken them to face the facts instead of running after beguiling hopes. He also reminded them of God’s law and its operation. But they ridiculed him and spoke to him with extreme impudence. “They say: ‘You to whom this reminder has been bestowed from on high! You are truly mad. Why do you not bring the angels before us, if you are truthful?’” (Verses 6-7) Ridicule is apparent in their way of addressing the Prophet, “You to whom this reminder has been bestowed from on high!” (Verse 6) They actually deny the fact of revelation and the Prophet’s message altogether, but they make this mocking address.

Ularning qo‘pollikləri yana ham oshib, Payg‘ambarning o‘zini haqorat qiladilar: “Sen, albatta, devonasan!” (6-oyat). Ular shunday demoqdalar, holbuki u ularni Xudoga iymon keltirishga chaqirgan va ularga Qur’onni o‘zining barcha ravshanligi bilan o‘qib bergan edi. Ular yana asossiz talablar qo‘yadilar, uning da’vatini tasdiqlash uchun farishtalar tushirilishini so‘raydilar:

Their rudeness is carried still further as they insult the Prophet personally: “You are truly mad!” (Verse 6) This they do in response to his call on them to believe in God, using the Qur’ān in all its clarity to address them. They go on to make unreasonable demands, asking for angels to come down to endorse his message:

"Agar rostgo'y bo'lsang, nega bizning oldimizga farishtalarni keltirmaysan?" (7-oyat) Bu va boshqa suralarda farishtalarni talab qilish ko'p takrorlanadi va u Payg'ambar Muhammad ﷺ ga, xuddi undan oldingi payg'ambarlar va elchilarga qo'yilgani kabi, qo'yiladi. Bu insonning aniq johilligini aks ettiradi, chunki Alloh uni bir necha tanlangan kishiga payg'ambarlik topshirish orqali sharaflagan.

“Why do you not bring the angels before us, if you are truthful?” (Verse 7) The demand for angels is often repeated in this and other sūrahs, and it is put to the Prophet Muĥammad (peace be upon him) as it was put to prophets and messengers before him. This reflects man’s clear ignorance, for it is he whom God has honoured when He assigned prophethood to a few chosen people.

Surada keyin ulardan Allohning hidoyatiga diqqat bilan qarash va uni chuqur mulohaza qilish talab etiladi.

The sūrah then calls on them to look carefully on God’s guidance and reflect on it.

Xudo faqat haqiqat bilan farishtalarni nozil qiladi. U ularga uni o‘rnatish va amalga oshirishni buyuradi. Qat’iy inkor etuvchilar uchun haqiqat ularni halok qilishdir. Ular bunga loyiq bo‘lib qolmay, bu muqarrar ham. Bunday halokat o‘zi haqiqatdir va farishtalar uni zudlik bilan bajaradi. Xudo ular uchun o‘zlari tanlagan narsadan yaxshiroq narsani tanlaydi. U ularga Eslatmani beradi, toki ular uni o‘ylab ko‘rsinlar va uning hidoyatiga ergashsinlar. Agar ular haqiqatni o‘ylab ko‘rsalar, oxirgi haqiqat bilan farishtalarni nozil qilishdan ko‘ra bu ancha yaxshiroqdir: “Eslatmani Biz o‘zimiz nozil qildik va uni Biz o‘zimiz saqlaymiz” ({Albatta, Biz Zikrni nozil qildik va Biz uni albatta saqlovchimiz}). (9-oyat) Shuning uchun ularga uni ijobiy qabul qilish yanada foydalidir, chunki u butun va buzilmagan holda qoladi, hech qanday yo‘qotish yoki o‘zgarishga uchramaydi. U sof bo‘lib qoladi, yolg‘on ta’sir qilmaydi, buzilishdan xoli bo‘ladi. Agar ular haqiqatni chindan istasalar, u ularni Xudoning mehr-shafqati bilan haqiqatga yo‘naltiradi. Agar ular buning kafolati uchun farishtalar tushirilishini so‘ragan bo‘lsalar, shuni bilsinlarki, Xudo ular uchun farishtalarni nozil qilishni istamaydi, chunki U ular uchun yaxshiroq narsani xohlaydi.

God only sends down the angels with the truth. He commands them to establish and implement it. In the case of persistent unbelievers, the truth is to destroy them. Not only do they deserve this, but it is also inevitable. Such destruction, then, is a truth in itself and the angels carry it out without delay. God chooses for them what is better than the choice they make for themselves. He gives them the Reminder so that they may reflect on it and follow its guidance. This is much better than sending down the angels with the final truth, if only they would reflect: “It is We Ourselves who have bestowed this reminder from on high, and it is We who shall preserve it intact.” (Verse 9) It is much better for them, then, to approach it positively, because it will remain intact, suffering no loss or change. It will remain pure, unaffected by falsehood, free of distortion. It guides them to the truth with God’s care, if they really want the truth. If they were asking for angels to make sure of it, they should know that God does not wish to send down angels for them, because He wants what is better for them.

Shuning uchun U Zikr (Eslatma)ni nozil qildi, u to'liq saqlangan. Bu ularni yo'q qilish uchun farishtalarni yuborishdan yaxshiroqdir.

Hence, He sent down the Reminder which is preserved intact. That is better than sending angels to destroy them.

Musulmonlar umuman olganda shunday bir davrni boshdan kechirdilarki, biz bugun ham uni boshdan kechirishda davom etmoqdamiz — bu davrda ular o'zlarini, o'z imonlarini, hayot tarzini, yerini, sha'nini, mulkini, axloqiy qadriyatlarini, hatto aql-idrokini va fikrlash qobiliyatini himoya qilishga ojiz bo'lib qolishdi. Ularning dushmanlari ularda bo'lgan har bir axloqiy qadriyatni, to'g'ri e'tiqodni, fazilatli amallarni va huquqiy me'yorlarni battar va begona narsalar bilan almashtirishga muvaffaq bo'lishdi.

Muslims generally have gone through a time, which we continue to endure these days, when they have been too weak to defend themselves, or their faith, way of life, land, honour, property, moral values or even their reasoning and intellectual faculties. Their enemies have managed to replace every moral value, sound belief, virtuous practice, and legal standard they have had with something foul and alien.

Ular musulmonlarni erkinlikka yo‘l qo‘yilgan axloqsizlik va uyatsiz xatti-harakatlarni qabul qilishga undadilar. Bundan tashqari, bunday xatti-harakatlarga taraqqiyot, rivojlanish, sekulyarizm, erkinlik, zanjirlardan xalos bo‘lish, inqilob va yangilik kabi jozibali nomlar berildi. Shunday qilib, musulmonlar faqat nomigagina musulmon bo‘lib qoldilar. Ular o‘zlarining chuqur imonidan deyarli hech narsa saqlab qolmadilar. Natijada ularning kuchi zaiflashdi va ular daryo yuzasida suzib yuruvchi ko‘pik kabi bir narsaga aylanib qoldilar.

They have tempted Muslims to accept loose morality and shameless behaviour. What is more, such behaviour has been given attractive titles such as progress, advancement, secularism, freedom, breaking one’s shackles, revolution and innovation, etc. Muslims have thus become Muslims only by name. They have retained practically nothing of their profound faith. Hence, their power has been sapped, and they have become little more than the scum that floats on the surface of a river.

Shunga qaramay, bu dinning dushmanlari barcha urinishlariga qaramay, Qur'on matnini o'zgartirishga yoki buzishga qodir bo'lmadilar. Bunga sabab ularda niyat yetishmagani emas.

Yet in spite of all their attempts, the enemies of this religion have not been able to change the text of the Qur’ān, or to distort it. This is not due to any lack of motive.

Ular, agar uning matnini o‘zgartirish mumkin bo‘lganida, albatta, buni juda istagan bo‘lardilar. Ammo qanchalik harakat qilmasinlar, o‘z maqsadlariga erisha olmadilar.

They would indeed have loved dearly to alter its text if that were at all possible. But try as hard as they might, they have been unable to achieve their goal.

Ushbu dinning dushmanlari, ayniqsa uning yahudiy unsurlari, to'rt ming yildan ortiq davom etgan katta tajribalaridan ilohiy din ga qarshi fitna uyushtirishda foydalanganlar.

Xudo Payg'ambarni (ﷺ) tasalli beradi va unga shuni aytadiki, u Xudoning elchilari orasida o'z mavqeida yolg'iz emas: ular ham, xuddi u kabi, ko'p masxara va rad etishga duch kelgan. Kofirlar haqiqiy dinni inkor etishda doimo o'z qaysarliklarini namoyon etishga moyil bo'lganlar.

God consoles the Prophet (peace be upon him), and tells him that he is not unique in his position among God’s messengers who, like him, were the target of much ridicule and rejection. The unbelievers are always wont to show their stubbornness in denying the true faith.

"Darhaqiqat, Biz sizdan oldin ham avvalgi ummatlarga elchilar yuborganmiz, ammo ularning oldiga qaysi elchi kelmasin, uni masxara qilishgan." (10-11-oyatlar) Bu xuddi o'sha hikoya.

“Indeed We have sent before you messengers to communities of old, but whenever a messenger came to any of them they mocked at him.” (Verses 10-11) It is the same story.

Худди ўтган умматлардаги кофирлар Аллоҳнинг пайғамбарлари уларга айтган нарсаларни қабул қилгани каби, сизнинг умматингиздаги кофирлар ҳам шундай. Уларнинг барчаси бир хил муносабат кўрсатади. Уларнинг қалблари Аллоҳнинг оятларидан юз ўгирган ва Аллоҳнинг танлаган элчиларига душман бўлгани учун, хабарни лозим бўлгани каби фикр юритиш ва қабул қилишга қодир эмас: "Шундай қилиб Биз уни [яъни, вахийга бўлган бу масхарабозликни] гуноҳкорларнинг қалбларига киритамиз. Улар унга ишонмайдилар, гарчи аввалги умматларнинг йўллари ўтган бўлса ҳам." (12-13-оятлар) Биз уларнинг қалбларига унинг ҳақиқати инкор этилиб, масхара қилинган ҳолда киритамиз, чунки уларнинг қалблари уни фақат шу тарзда қабул қила олади. Бу барча авлодлар ва умматларга, ўтмишдагиларга, ҳозирги ва келажакдагиларга тегишлидир. Аллоҳнинг хабарини инкор этувчилар ҳам шу табиатдадирлар: "Аввалги умматларнинг йўллари уларнинг олдидан ўтган." (13-оят)

Just like the unbelievers in the communities of old received what God’s messengers told them, the same is the case with the unbelievers in your community. They all show the same attitude. Their hearts, having turned away from God’s messages and been hostile to God’s chosen messengers, are no longer able to reflect or receive a message as it should be received: “Thus do We cause it [i.e. this scorn of the revelation] to slip into the hearts of the guilty, who do not believe in it, although the ways of ancient communities have gone before them.” (Verses 12-13) We let it sink into their hearts as its truth is denied, subject to ridicule, because their hearts cannot receive it except in this way. This applies to all generations and communities, past, present and future. Those who deny the truth of God’s message are of the same nature: “The ways of ancient communities have gone before them.” (Verse 13)

Koinot o‘zini yarata olmaydi, so‘ngra o‘z mavjudligini boshqaradigan qonunlarni yaratadi.

The universe cannot create itself, then create the laws that control its existence.

Biz hayotning jonsiz koinotdan paydo bo'lganini ham tasdiqlay olmaymiz. Shuning uchun na inson tabiati, na inson aql-idroki koinot yoki hayotning uni boshqarib turuvchi Yaratuvchisiz paydo bo'lishini qabul qilmaydi. Darhaqiqat, hozirda moddiy fan ham buni rad etmoqda.

Nor can we attribute the emergence of life to a lifeless universe. Hence neither human nature nor human intelligence accepts the emergence of the universe or life without a Creator who continues to control it. Indeed material science is now rejecting it as well.

Rassel Charlz Artist, Tennessi shtatining Nashvill shahridagi Devid Lipskom kollejining biologiya professori, shunday deydi:

Russell Charles Artist, Professor of Biology at David Lipscomb College, Nashville, Tennessee, says:

Jonli hujayralarni jonsiz materiyadan kelib chiqarishga qaratilgan ko'plab nazariyalar ilgari surildi. Ba'zi tadqiqotchilar hayotning protogen, viruslar yoki yirik oqsil molekulalarining birikishi orqali paydo bo'lganini da'vo qilmoqda. Bu esa go'yo jonsiz va jonli o'rtasidagi bo'shliq nihoyat bartaraf etilgandek taassurot qoldirishi mumkin. Aslida shuni e'tirof etish kerakki, jonsiz materiyadan jonli materiyani eksperimental yo'l bilan hosil qilishga urinishlarning barchasi to'liq muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchradi.

Many theories have been brought forward in the attempt to derive living cells from inanimate matter. Certain investigators are claiming that life has originated through the protogene, or through viruses, or through an aggregation of large protein molecules, which may leave the impression that at last the gap between the lifeless and the living has been spanned. Actually it must be admitted that all attempts to produce living matter experimentally from inanimate matter have failed utterly.

Bundan tashqari, Xudoning mavjudligini inkor etuvchi kishi, atomlar va molekulalarning tasodifiy yig'indisi bu yerda tasvirlangan hujayralar kabi o'zini saqlashga va boshqarishga qodir hayot ekanini, kutayotgan dunyoga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri dalil orqali isbotlay olmaydi. Aslo unday emas. U buni e'tiqod sifatida qabul qiladi. Bu barchamizga ko'rinib turgan faktlarni uning shaxsiy talqini bo'lib, tasodifiy birikma birinchi hujayrani vujudga keltirgan, deydi. Lekin bu, Aql uni vujudga keltirgan deb ishonishdan ham kattaroq mo''jizani qabul qilish demakdir! Men shuni ta'kidlayman: bu hujayralarning har biri (har biri shunchalik murakkab va nozik tizim bo'lib, uning to'liq ishlashi hozircha bizning tadqiqotimizdan yashirin qolmoqda) va Yerdagi ularning trillionlari aniq, asosli xulosani ko'rsatadi — bu Aql, yoki Idrok, yoki Fikr xulosasi bo'lib, biz uni Xudo deb ataymiz. Fan bu xulosani ham tan oladi, ham qabul qiladi.
